This is what I’m getting at. They matched displayed sr to the hidden mmr at season end so whatever games they were being put into became their displayed rank. So if they were actually being put into diamond, masters or gm games that became their rank.
Which was plat.
What makes you think that is the case RIGHT AWAY?
Because if they stop climbing the dopamine will wear off and they will stop playing and buying skins.
They said so. Also happened to some of my accounts.
They didn’t say any such thing. I read what they said VERY carefully.
They said
MANY people took it as MMR is a single floating point number, and SR is that fitted to a bell curve. But they did not say that at all.
Say you had a system where the system keeps track of a probability curve of actual ranking.
And say, you for instance, matched them for games which gave you the highest certainty of ranking.
That would NORMALLY be their actual SR, but not always if there was a lump somewhere else in the curve.
Yes.
Tell me how what they have said changes what I said.
The estimate is you are plat. The big lump of probability is in GM. So, it gives GM games, to give you the highest amount of increase in certainty improvement for the matchmaker.
If you keep winning that, then… that becomes dominant, and you RAPIDLY increase to that rank.
What they wrote doesn’t go against that method of matchmaking what so ever.
Bro this kids getting carried by their squads. I can easily reach top500 with mates, but if you solo rank, then you either need luck to get mates with b r a i n - or every single shot of your hanzo main is a headshot - even if you get hard countered and everyone is starting hard diving you.
Also I would like to know what people you mean that saying this. 70% of them must be boosted. There is no way to climb up fast in OVERWATCH TWO. The matchmaker is still broken af - facts, facts, facts
Sounds like a skill issue tbh us solo que warriors hate going higher then a duo.
If you win yes you will climb that’s really all there is to it.
This is tangential but I’m going to vent.
I was demoted drastically after experiencing a game bug that would queue me up for a ranked game and then have trouble joining once a match was found. It happened on three separate occasions. I’d sit on that screen for about 10 minutes each and then would give up and relog just to come back to a screen that said I received a penalty for leaving. I took a screen shot of the hanging screen and reported it to customer support and they simply stated it was a known bug that many players have encountered and you know what they said via email?
Then I proceeded to get hit with it a fourth time and wasn’t allowed to play for 8 hours. Went from Gold 1 to silver 3 immediately.
This game is so much fun.
